(2 days!?! Crazy) We had a lovely Christmas, it was one of those days you wish was a little longer and you didn't want to end. I hope you all had as good of a Holiday as we did.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/Mistress_stash_enhancer/Family%202006/Picture533.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;188&quot; src=&quot;http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/Mistress_stash_enhancer/Family%202006/Picture533.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting&quot; height=&quot;227&quot; style=&quot;width: 188px; height: 227px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The kids had a ball with their gifts, and Mike enjoyed guessing what was in every package. (and&amp;nbsp;was almost *always* right! He is too good!) poor guy, got all the fun &quot;adult gifts&quot; clothes and stuff for his trailer.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/Mistress_stash_enhancer/Family%202006/Picture534.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;258&quot; src=&quot;http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/Mistress_stash_enhancer/Family%202006/Picture534.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting&quot; height=&quot;175&quot; style=&quot;width: 258px; height: 175px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;One reason to have kids, you get to buy really cool toys, play with them, and not be considered crazy. &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/Mistress_stash_enhancer/Family%202006/Picture530.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/Mistress_stash_enhancer/Family%202006/th_Picture530.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/Mistress_stash_enhancer/Family%202006/Picture525.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/Mistress_stash_enhancer/Family%202006/th_Picture525.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/Mistress_stash_enhancer/Family%202006/Picture535.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/Mistress_stash_enhancer/Family%202006/th_Picture535.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The kids enjoyed playing for most of the day, We went over to Mike's Mom's than over to his Aunt's. It was a great day, with family, friends and lots of good food.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;me? I got the bestest present ever. This year, I told Mike how I remember baking cookies with my mom with her Sunbeam stand mixer. (Which I have now, but when you use it it seems to want to take off into orbit or burst into flames!) I told him I would love a &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.kitchenaid.com/catalog/product.jsp?categoryId=310&amp;amp;productId=347&quot;&gt;Kitchen Aid Mixer&lt;/a&gt;, like they have at the kitchen store at the mall. I also told him I would never bake him cookies from a bag mix again. Can you guess what I got?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/Mistress_stash_enhancer/Family%202006/Picture561.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/Mistress_stash_enhancer/Family%202006/th_Picture561.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/Mistress_stash_enhancer/Family%202006/Picture562.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/Mistress_stash_enhancer/Family%202006/th_Picture562.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;It's pink, its perfect, and I'm so happy. I don't' know what to bake first I'm so excited! Did I mention its pink? Thank you Mike, there will be lots more cookies this year!!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;ps&amp;nbsp;I've been knitting, I&amp;nbsp;think bloglines resets after it reaches so many posts. Because today when&amp;nbsp;I opened it it&amp;nbsp;said&amp;nbsp;I had 32 unread posts.... uhhh I haven't read any blogs in a week! It was 100 and&amp;nbsp;something last time&amp;nbsp;I checked!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; </description>  </item>  <item> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://mistressstashenhancer.blogspirit.com/archive/2006/12/04/my-little-man-turns-6.html</guid> <title>My little man turns 6!</title> <link>http://mistressstashenhancer.blogspirit.com/archive/2006/12/04/my-little-man-turns-6.html</link> <author>noreply@blogspirit.com (Mistress Stash Enhancer)</author>   <category>family</category>  <category>Special Occasions</category>   <pubDate>Mon,  4 Dec 2006 15:45:00 -0500</pubDate> <description> &lt;p&gt;Today my little man, Bryce turns 6!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/Mistress_stash_enhancer/Family%202006/Picture446.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;239&quot; src=&quot;http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f307/Mistress_stash_enhancer/Family%202006/Picture446.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting&quot; height=&quot;279&quot; style=&quot;width: 239px; height: 279px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;He is a fabulous builder, you should see his train track!

While out to dinner Mike and I where looking at all the cute little baby's everywhere. We started talking about having another one, Little did we know I was already pregnant!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;This is the part where I show you all 11 ultrasound pictures, right?

I started blogging in May of 2005 over &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://journals.aol.com/amandacroasmun/maebeeknits/&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; &amp;nbsp;using AOL journals. If you haven't guessed already, I'm very challenged (quit giggling! I mean it!) when it comes to technology. I like blogspirit because it took very little reading to figure out, same with photobucket. Flicker, good Lord! huh? Don't get me wrong, I like to read, just not really read directions. (yeah maybe thats why the sweater didn't fit! gr!)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Anyway, since its my blogiversary I might as well give something away right?!? ok! So, little contest is in order. I'll pick a name on Sunday the 30th. Good luck.&lt;/p&gt; </description>  </item>  </channel> </rss>
